Methods

__init__()
change_wavelength(wavelength[, max_tries])	Change to desired wavelength, modifies slot 4 if wavelength DNE.
read([averaging_time])	Read average powermeter output in mW over averaging_time.
shut_down()	Stop & Close all devices.

change_wavelength(wavelength, max_tries=4)

Change to desired wavelength, modifies slot 4 if wavelength DNE.

read(averaging_time=0.5)

Read average powermeter output in mW over averaging_time.

Parameters:

averaging_time (float or int, optional) – Time to collect dataset in seconds. The default is 0.5.

Returns:

• timestamp (float) – Time since epoch from time.time() of recording

• reading (float) – Power reading in mW

shut_down()

Stop & Close all devices.
